Canada supports the second largest gray wolf population in the world, after Russia. Wolf habitat is diverse in this large country where, historically, wolves ranged in most areas.

Currently, wolves in Canada occupy approximately 90 percent of their historic range. The 10 percentage without wolves is primarily near the southern border, except near Lake Superior where wolves still live. See individual provinces.

The “Algonquin” or eastern wolf is listed as a Species of Special Concern under Canada’s Species At Risk Act (SARA) and is protected
